Motorized

We all remember seeing a movie where the mega-rich character pushes a button, and all the window shades close automatically. Who wouldn't want to have blackout shades like that?

We have great news! Now, you can have the same incredible automatic blinds and shades in your dining room, bedroom, or any other room in your home or office – without needing to be mega-rich. Motorized blinds and shades from Blindster put the power in your hands (literally!) with remote control operation.

If sitting on your couch and making all your window treatments go down via remote control isn't incentive enough, take a look at all the other great reasons to put motorized window treatments in your home or office:

• Easy installation – no special wiring needed; all our motors have rechargeable batteries
• Convenient operation – the intuitive remote control can fully raise or lower window treatment with a single press or press and hold to move to a desired height; there's even a "favorite" button to program a preferred partially open position.
• Raise one shade or all of them – a programmable remote control lets you select individual smart shades to operate or combine electric shades into groups to work in unison.
• Simple, infrequent charging – our batteries can go up to six months between charges, then just connect the charger to the blind, and you'll be ready to go in just a few hours
• Cord-free control – smart blinds have no dangling cords, making them a safer choice for kids and creating a "cleaner" look in the window
• Hard-to-reach windows – smart shades in tall or obstructed windows are easily operated without long cords or ladders
• UV protection – easily lower your motorized blinds and shades to keep out damaging UV rays, even on high windows that homeowners often leave uncovered.
• Curb appeal – motorized blinds add a real wow factor for potential buyers (or just to impress your friends!)

There are different styles of blinds and shades that can be made with our motorized lift feature, see which one best fits your style and your desired opacity:

• Cellular shades – these shades offer superior insulation in either light filtering or blackout fabric options
• Roller shades – also available in light filtering or blackout, roller shades feature clean styling and multiple design options
• Solar shades – this roller-style shade is made with a unique woven fabric that you can still see through to the outside while it reduces glare, heat gain, and UV exposure
• Zebra dual shades – contemporary design features back-to-back layers of banded fabric for stunning style and dynamic good looks
• Sheer shades – like having two shades in one, the airy sheer fabric gently diffuses light or rotates the "floating" fabric slats for greater privacy and light-blocking
• Bamboo woven wood shades – from casual to exotic, our bamboo shades feature the beauty and texture of nature in a wide variety of colors and patterns

Blindster motorized blinds take the fuss out of raising and lowering your window treatments without the high costs of complicated installation and special wiring. Although we don't currently offer integration into home automation systems (like Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, or a smartphone app for voice control or scheduling), you'll love the convenient and easy remote control operation and the beautiful look of your new motorized shades.

Motorized shades operate using a small electric motor, which needs a power source. The three most common sources for electric motorized shades are battery-powered, direct current, and solar.

• Battery-operated electric motorized shades and blinds use long-lasting rechargeable battery solutions as power sources. These remote control blinds & shades are easy-to-install, do not require external power sources, and are the most popular type of motorized window treatment
• Solar-powered motorized shades and blinds are powered by the sun. This type of automatic blinds & shades are expensive, depend on the weather, and require additional installation steps.
• Direct current motorized window treatments either plug into the wall or are wired directly into the building's electrical system. The first option can look cumbersome, while the second requires installation by a qualified electrician.

• Ease of installation
• Improved energy efficiency
• Improved home security
• Increased home value
• Remote controlled operation
• Safer for children and pets than corded shades
• UV protection
